just a fyi..going against starters off a 1.0 rating has been working pretty good along with the over in their game:
might want to look it over and see if worth following...
========
Game Ratings are designed to supplement the won-loss and ERA statistics, as well as the quality starts. Game Ratings range from 0 to 5 points and are recorded for each game using these rules:
a) one point for pitching 6 innings, no points at all for the game if the starter does not go 5 innings. Starters going 5.00, 5.33 or 5.67 innings can get points but cannot get more than 4, as they get no point for innings.
b) one point for hits equal to or fewer than innings.
c) one point for strikeouts equalling innings minus 2 or better. Six innings needs 4 strikeouts for a point, 6.33 needs 5 strikeouts.
d) one point for strikeouts twice or more the number of walks.
e) one point for yielding zero or only one home runs.
This method has the benefit of being simple and easy to apply using ordinary newspaper box scores. By taking into account strikeouts, walks and home runs, it utilizes the pitching results that are not dependent on fielding, earned runs, or on bullpen support, common criticisms of ERA and quality starts.
